Chapter 43: Blown Out of Proportion

Xiao Chen placed his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

“It’s okay, as long as your Tang family handles it properly, I will let it pass.”

Tang Nianyao shivered. She could hear a trace of murderous intent in Xiao Chen’s voice.

She took a deep breath and straightened her back, a solemn expression on her face.

“I understand, Mr. Xiao.”

She immediately approached Tang Jiajie.

“Tang Jiajie, come here right now. Kneel to Mr. Xiao and apologize right now. If Mr. Xiao isn’t satisfied, I’ll break you in half, got it?”

Everyone present took a deep breath of cold air. What’s Tang Nianyao doing? Is she crazy?

After being stunned for a while, Tang Jiajie gradually narrowed his eyes, his face turning purple as an eggplant.

“Tang Nianyao, is your brain working? How dare you make me kneel to an outsider! Where do you want us to put the Tang family’s face? Where do you want me to put my—this Tang Jiajie’s face?”

Tang Nianyao sneered.

“I don’t want to waste words with you. Immediately! Now! Apologize to Mr. Xiao. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”

As soon as she spoke, a cold voice came from the main entrance.

“Really? I want to see how far you’d dare go to!”

Hearing this voice, Tang Jiajie was overjoyed, a proud expression on his face. Nianyao on the other hand felt her face turn sour.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked in. He was slightly overweight with a beer belly and was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Both his hands were behind his back, and he had his chin tilted up in an arrogant manner.

“Dad!”

Tang Jiajie happily cried. He nodded to the man and then gestured toward Tang Nianyao with a cold gaze.

“Nianyao, your temper is so hot! How dare you force a descendant of the Tang family to kneel in front of a puny runt and apologize. Your princess attitude is getting out of hand!”

Tang Nianyao’s expression turned ugly, but she didn’t back down.

It was clearer to her than anyone else present how important Xiao Chen was to her grandfather!

If she didn’t satisfy Xiao Chen tonight, the Tang family might find themselves in incredible trouble in the future!

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and began to speak with no consideration for the consequence.

“Uncle, although my request is too much, I still want to persuade you to tell Jie to listen to me. Trust me, it’s for his own good and for yours, too. But most importantly, it’s for the good of the Tang family!”

“Bullsh*t!”

The second uncle of the Tang family pointed at Tang Nianyao’s nose and began to lecture her:

“Tang Nianyao, do not think that just because your father is the eldest son of the Tang family, you can behave so unscrupulously! The third generation heir for the Tang family is Jiajie! You’re just a girl and going to be married off soon. How dare you be so rude to Jiajie, that’s already a crime in itself! How dare you speak so vilely and try to trick me. Do you think I’m an idiot?”

Tang Nianyao was fuming with anger. She wanted to spit blood.

The second uncle had hit her weak spot!

Although her father was the eldest son, she was only a girl.

In the third generation of the Tang family, Tang Jiajie was above her in status!

Seeing Tang Nianyao go pale with anger, clenching her fists as her breathing rate increased, Tang Jiajie was overjoyed.

“Tang Nianyao, I’ve already tried talking to you! Don’t be too arrogant, you can’t match me. And for an outsider, too!”

He then turned to Xiao Chen with an obnoxiously cold smile.

“You little runt, I’ve already told you, you’re no match for me! Let me tell you again. Su Ruoxue can’t save you! Neither can Tang Nianyao! Anyone who dares to wreak havoc on Tang family territory is bound to death!”

Su Ruoxue could feel her nails dig into her palm. She was beyond worried!

Once the second uncle of the Tang family appeared, Tang Nianyao was no longer helpful! They were doomed now.

The spectators were also shaking their heads.

The ending was set, and Xiao Chen had no chance of turning the tide.

Behind Tang Jiajie, Xiao Wan was smirking.

Just now, she had already lost interest in Xiao Chen. But she didn’t expect Xiao Chen would receive the aid of Tang Nianyao thanks to Su Ruoxue.

Although she didn’t know why Tang Nianyao was so respectful to Xiao Chen, in the end, success still belonged to Tang Jiajie, her man.

When she thought of this, an euphoric feeling swept over her, making her feel refreshed and energized in all sorts of ways.

She was feeling happier than if she had just eaten a heavenly fruit!

First they would deal with Xiao Chen, then when there was a chance in the future, she would deal with Su Ruoxue. Since Su Ruoxue had fired her, she could act in retaliation and feel even better about it.

Even thinking about it made her relaxed.

She wrinkled her nose. Xiao Wan could almost smell the scent of sunlight and good times ahead.

Seeing Tang Nianyao remain in place, the second uncle snorted.

“Tang Nianyao, you still won’t move aside?”

Tang Nianyao gritted her teeth.

“Uncle, please stop digging your own grave! If this keeps on going, there will be trouble.”

“Bullsh*t! You’re already on the brink of death, do you not know? Move, or else I’ll deal with you, too!”

“Who are you going to deal with?”

Just as the second uncle was brimming with satisfaction, another figure descended from upstairs.

Soon as people recognized him, everyone lowered their heads in respect.

Uncle Tang and Tang Jiajie immediately stepped forward too, along with Xiao Wan.

If they could be recognized by grandfather Tang, then it would be incredibly beneficial for their future!

“Dad! Nianyao, this kid, is becoming more and more of a nuisance! She actually dares to cause trouble on our home turf. And not only that, she’s actually protecting the oppressor! She even asked that Jiajie, our heir, kneel down and kowtow. This is beyond ridiculous! She is going to lose so much face for the Tang family.”

Tang Jiajie also added in:

“That’s right! Grandpa, Tang Nianyao doesn’t know shame is simply humiliating the family! I think you have to publish her greatly. Otherwise, the future of the Tang family grandchildren will be compromised!”

Su Ruoxue couldn’t contain her nervousness anymore and hurriedly explained:

“Grandpa Tang, it’s not like that, listen to me explain, Nianyao was only…”

“Hush!”

Before Su Ruoxue could finish speaking, Xiao Wan interrupted her.

“Su Ruoxue, this is the Tang family manor. You’re just an outsider, who gave you the right to make false claims here? I think you don’t value the Tang family and put them below you!”

“You—!”

Su Ruoxue was fuming with anger by now. Seeing this, Xiao Wan glared at them with a proud gleam in her eyes.

‘Su Ruoxue, I’ll make you regret firing me. This time, do you understand this mistress’s power? Later, I am going to make you understand what it’s like to be humiliated!’
